Re: [Talk-GB] TfL bus maps as source

The TfL bus maps may not be usable but the timetable data on which 
they are based are available at traveline.info/tnds under the Open 
Government Licence.  Is that ODBL-compatible or am I missing your 
point?

A note of caution however.  This week's edition of the London data 
includes breadcrumb trails of the track taken between each bus stop.  
I am not sure that TfL have intended to release this level of detail 
because of map copyright issues.  However if you ignore everything 
between the mapping /mapping tags, then the rest of the Routelink 
records, ie the stop to stop links, are what is normally available as 
Open Data.

 You definitely can't copy TfL bus maps. You have to follow the signs, or
 ride the routes, toot toot!

 Sadly TfL still don't release their open data in a simple way under an
 ODBL-compatible license.

Re: [Talk-transit] experiences with PT firms sponsoring datas?

[stonerpj]

(Apologies for the top posting forced by the webmailI am using)
The NAPTAN data released in the UK is the position of the bus stops. Traveline is pleased to note the benefits in terms of:

-increased interest in public transport data, 
- reporting of incorrect data, and 
- in a few areas, close working that has been established been certain volunteers and local authorities.

Hi there, I'm from the german OSM division and in the press team. Therefore the Verkehrsbetriebe Köln(operator of public transport in the big german city Köln) asked me if we are interested in importing their datas.Of course we are interested ;-)But to show up the benefits of OSM the employee asked for other PT companies that have allready (good) experiences. Might it be possible to get the contact e.g. to the people that spend the http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/NaPTAN datas?
